oh thank you

[chonomai]

( oh, good, he's here! shinobu smiles brightly, though it curbs to something more sincere quickly. )

Good morning, Urbain! I won't take much of your time. I simply wanted to apologize.

I realized that I was forgetting myself, and that not everyone is used to my more... sharp teasing, or to sharpness in general- not everyone is fresh from a war. You didn't deserve edge for no reason, especially with your own kindness, and I should not have assumed or treated you the same as my more cynical comrades.

I am sorry.

[justacityboy]

[...ah, yes. This must have been the person who nagged him about his shitty sushi. Urbain's shoulders slightly slump.]

Nah, it's good. I'm usually not that soft-hearted, I've just been having a rough time adjusting here. Kinda the difference between, I dunno, going from being cushy and sheltered into a school where everyone's mean to each other over little things. Not that I've gone to school, but I've seen movies.

But it's good. It's not your fault. I gotta get used to people here being kinda rough.

[chonomai]

All the more reason I should have remembered myself. You should not have had to be hurt because I forgot how to be kind.

( it's not a forgiveness she's earned, and she will not accept it. )

[justacityboy]

Well... I 'ppreciate it, it was nice of you to drop by. You want like, tea or a snack or something while you're here? I made some cookies! Not the ones shaped like little people 'cause I heard that's bad, and I'm keeping it on the down-low. Secret cookies. You want secret cookies?

[Urbain, shut UP]

[chonomai]

--Eh? Even after what I've said?

[justacityboy]

Yeah? You said sorry, we're cool, and I make baller cookies.

[Don't tell the cookies...]

[chonomai]

( hm. shinobu has to kill for him now. more than she already would in his defense as a civilian, that is.


he probably shouldn't know this. )

... You're very kind. Thank you.

[justacityboy]

Kindness makes the world go 'round, they say! Also "treat others the way you wanna be treated" and like, "don't be a dick to retail workers" and other worldly advice like that.

[He's going to give her cookies :) On a cute little plate.]

They're white chocolate chip and strawberry. You're not like, allergic to anything right? 'Cause I just now realised that I Did Not Ask. [yes he emphasizes it like that verbally]

[chonomai]

( oh, tiny plate. ... ah, it's a shame mitsuri's not here. they'd get along well, she thinks- she'd adopt him as her own little brother. and then they would make pancakes. she can see it all very clearly. )

I'm not, don't worry. I'd have said something during your first offer to cook otherwise. It looks wonderful!
